Heather Wall rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Wave the checkered flag! Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo and St. Hugo Wines of Australia team up once again to create a delicious red wine blend crafted with southern Australian fruit. This is the Ric Red DR3 2021 and it does not disappoint. Full-bodied, smooth tannins, smoky cigar lounge, cologne, ripe berries and fresh herbs.
The palate is a lovely surprise. Silky, soft perfume, black cherry, sweet dipped cigar, underbrush, vanilla and cloves. A sultry explosion of the senses as it crosses the finish line.
This Secret Sauce may be locked up in a vault, but I think it’s a collaboration built on a passion for wine and a desire to win! Fire up the barbecue!
Perfect Father's Day wine.
Decanted 30 minutes.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
